Now is the time for the world to know
That every thought and action is sacred.

This is the time
For you to compute the impossibility
That there is anything
But Grace.

Now is the season to know
That everything you do
Is sacred.

–Hafiz

Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable. 

~Mary Oliver

Through my love for you, 
I want to express my love for the whole cosmos, 
the whole of humanity, 
and all beings.  
By living with you, 
I want to learn to love everyone and all species.  
If I succeed in loving you, 
I will be able to love everyone and all species on Earth… 
This is the real message of love. 

–Thich Nhat Hanh

Those Who Don’t Feel This Love
pulling them like a river
those who don’t drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take sunset like supper
those who don’t want to change
let them sleep…
~Rumi

My soul wants to fly away
When Your Presence calls it so sweetly.
My soul wants to take flight
When You whisper, “Arise.”

~ Rumi

The great sea
frees me, moves me,
as a strong river carries a weed.
Earth and her strong winds
move me, take me away,
and my soul is swept up in joy.

~ Uvavnuk, eskimo female shaman
Translated by Jane Hirshfield, Women in Praise of the Sacred

Go deeper
Past thoughts into silence.
Past silence into stillness.
Past stillness into the heart.
Let love consume all that is left of you.

~ Kabir 

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage.  - Lao Tzu

Ride the waves of Samara like a happy surfer and the waves will take you to the shore

O so unseriously :))

Someone I loved once gave me
a box full of darkness.

It took me years to understand
that this, too, was a gift.

~Mary Oliver

Out in a downpour
in a sopping wet
skirt.
And you have gone to a distant country.
Unbearable heart,
letter after letter
just asking when,
my beloved, when
                      are you coming?

~Mirabai

“If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies;
succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
be honest and frank anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
do good anyway…

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.”

~ Mother Teresa

They say there is a doorway from heart to heart,
but what is the use of a door
when there are no walls?

~Rumi
